Spatial Justice: A Value Axis for Urban Spatial Governance in the New Era

Abstract

In the process of urbanisation in the 21st century, spatial justice has become a focus of attention for many scholars, policy makers and urban planners. Space is not only a physical extension, but also an embodiment of social relations, cultural values and power structures. The issue of spatial justice surfaces when urban space shows obvious imbalance and segregation. With the acceleration of urbanisation and economic globalisation, spatial alienation, deprivation and inequality are increasing, posing serious challenges to the sustainable development of cities. Therefore, exploring the significance and path of spatial justice in urban governance in the new era is not only an academic demand, but also a realistic issue of current urban development. The purpose of this paper is to deeply analyse the origin, current situation and response strategies of spatial justice, so as to provide theoretical support and practical guidance for the construction of a more just and harmonious city.
